50-foot flat Cat5e patch cable

This 50-foot flat Cat5e patch cable uses 30 AWG stranded pure copper conductors and RJ45 connectors to link computers, routers, switches and other network devices. The low-profile design routes easily under carpets or along baseboards for home and small-office installations.

Gold-plated contacts and snagless boots

Each connector carries 50 µm gold-plated contacts for corrosion resistance and reliable signal transfer at 350 MHz bandwidth. Color-matched snagless strain-relief boots protect the latch during repeated insertion and removal.

Simple plug-and-play installation

The cable terminates in standard RJ45 plugs that snap into any compatible port without tools or configuration. The flat profile reduces bending stress but requires care to avoid sharp kinks that can damage the thin 30 AWG conductors.

Questions about this item

Will the 30AWG stranded copper conductors need replacement after repeated bending?

The 30AWG stranded pure copper conductors are designed for flexibility, and the colour-matched snagless strain relief boots protect the connector junction from cable fatigue during routine moves.

What performance limit appears first when the 350MHz bandwidth cable runs at full 100‑metre Cat5e length?

At the rated 350MHz bandwidth the cable meets Cat5e specifications up to 100 metres; beyond that distance signal attenuation becomes the limiting factor before the bandwidth ceiling is reached.

Does the flat unshielded design generate noticeable heat or signal noise during all‑day PoE use?

The UTP flat construction carries standard PoE currents without measurable temperature rise, and the 50µm gold‑plated contacts maintain low‑resistance connections for continuous operation.
